They are a group of individuals who voluntarily compile information about the violence in Iraq, including Iraqi casualties and injuries. The numbers are staggering. Overwhelming. We - all of us - need to remember these other statistics, too. Thank you for your comment.

We have better technology to keep injured people alive. So when numbers are presented about the war numbers taking their toll, we need to include the injured as well today. We have lost 79 who are now in heaven. How many were injured and left on this earth to get along with their injuries? Imagine going home to several kids with no legs, in a wheel chair, without arms, with less of a brain. These people are not sung as heros. But they are every day heros to me. They don't make the news or come home to grand parties of people needing help. Many are alone with their struggles every day for years to come. I think we would be very distressed to know these numbers. I'd like to do a bag for them and let them know we are remembering them in the struggle war has left them and their families to live.
